Our Own Olympics.....

I know this belongs in the sports category, but the folks on the people forum know me much better.

This summer two of my daughters and a couple of other relatives decided to train for and participate in a half marathon. It's called the Mesa Falls Marathon. It's a very difficult course with a lot of elevation changes. The worst hill being a three mile climb.

I used the old D70 that now belongs to my daughter as my D200 is still in the shop for repair. The D70 came through with flying colors!!

Here are some images from the day. All the ladies finished the race(which was their goal). Amber ran nearly every day this summer pushing all three of her babies in the triplet jogging stroller that she owns. I'm really proud of all of them.

Wow Terri, my sincere congratulations to all who participated in that race. Long distance running has never been a favorite of mine, not even when I was in high school. I tip my hat to each of them for their dedication to training and finishing the race.

Congrats to all of them! I was a marathon runner once upon a time, and I can't imagine doing that right now. I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I might try to train this year and run next spring with my dad though. We used to run the KY Derby Mini-marathon together, and since 2001 I've lived so far away we couldn't. Now that I'm just an 8 hour drive away I think maybe I'll try!
